Biography

Glenn Martin Christopher Francis Quinn was born on May 28 1970 in Dublin, Ireland. He was raised in Cabinteely (Co Dublin) and attended Clonkeen College. In 1988 he moved to the United States of America with his mother and two sisters. In 1991, Quinn had his first role in a movie, Shout, next to John Travolta in which he shared an on-screen kiss with Gwyneth Paltrow. Later, one of Quinn's most noticeable roles was that of Mark Healy, Becky Connor's husband in the TV sitcom Roseanne, also starring Roseanne and John Goodman among others. While still working on that show, Quinn also took on the role as youngest son Cedric on the UK TV series Covington Cross. Another role that brought Quinn much popularity and fame was that of Allen Francis Doyle, a half-demon on the 1999 TV series Angel. Most of his roles had called for him to hide his Irish accent and fake an American one instead; however, the role on Angel was his first opportunity to use his original Irish accent in an American TV show or movie. His last film work was that on the critically acclaimed 2002 R.S.V.P.. In addition to acting, Quinn enjoyed music, playing the drums, and car racing. He also co-owned a nightclub called "Goldfingers" in Los Angeles, California. Glenn Quinn passed away on Tuesday, December 3 2002. Police and autopsy reports revealed the cause of death to be a heroin overdose.
